Next Door Announces HIV Fund-Raising Campaign

MONTREAL — Next Door Entertainment has announced the launch of a fund-raising campaign to support the charitable organization Until There’s A Cure.

To coincide with the campaign kick off, an initial donation of $10,000 has been made to the foundation.

“Our first fundraiser, a celebrity auction where attendees at this year’s Phoenix Forum bid on the underwear and swimsuits of adult models, resulted in $5,000 donations," said Stephan Sirard, president of Next Door Entertainment. "Next Door has matched that amount, bringing the total amount raised to $10,000.”

Until There's A Cure is a national organization dedicated to eradicating HIV/AIDS by raising awareness and funds to combat the pandemic.

“We are so grateful to all of those who turned out at this first fundraiser and for their generous donations," Sirard said. "We were all overwhelmed by the response and the funds raised. Until There’s A Cure is a very worthwhile cause and we are very pleased to be able to support the great work that they are doing.”

The foundation’s dream is that no one else will become infected with HIV. For those who are HIV positive, they are dedicated on their behalf to educating all people about the virus.

The recent charity auction event, Friday Night Heat, was held at the Phoenix Forum and featured adult models from Next Door Studios and Hot House Entertainment modeling underwear and swimsuits donated by gay adult retailer Priape.
